[0034] This invention proposes a handlebar assembly for electric scooters.

[0035] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the handle assembly includes a handle base 10, a cross handle 20, a display component 30, and a cover plate 40. The handle base 10 has a connecting part 17, a first mounting hole 13, and a mounting cavity 11. The connecting part 17 is located at the bottom of the handle base 10 and at the rear end of the handle base 10. The mounting cavity 11 has an opening 111 located at the top of the handle base 10. The first mounting hole 13 extends through the opposite sides of the handle base 10 in the left-right direction and is spaced apart from the opening 111. The first mounting hole 13 and the connecting part 17 are spaced apart in the front-back direction of the handle base 10.

[0036] The handlebar 20 passes through the first mounting hole 13 and is fixed to the handlebar base 10; the display component 30 is disposed in the mounting cavity 11 and located on the rear side of the handlebar 20; the cover plate 40 covers the opening 111, and a light-transmitting area 41 is provided on the cover plate 40 corresponding to the position of the display component 30.

[0037] When the handlebar assembly is used on an electric scooter, the connecting part 17 is connected to the upper end of the vertical tube 80 of the electric scooter, and the handlebar seat 10 extends toward the front end of the vertical tube 80, so that the handlebar seat 10 is located in the middle of the handlebar 20. The handlebar 20 extends in the left and right direction and is equipped with a brake device, etc. During installation, the handlebar 20 can be inserted into the first mounting hole 13 from one side of the handlebar seat 10 and protrude from the other end of the first mounting hole 13. After fixing the handlebar 20 to the handlebar seat 10, the brake device and other structures are then installed on the handlebar 20.

[0038] The handlebar 10 is made of metal, and the cover plate 40 can be made of metal or plastic, etc. A hole can be made in the cover plate 40 corresponding to the position of the display component 30 to form a light-transmitting area 41; alternatively, the position of the cover plate 40 corresponding to the display component 30 can be made of a light-transmitting material to form the light-transmitting area 41. The display component 30 can be used to display information such as the electric scooter's speed and battery level.

[0039] This utility model's technical solution involves providing a connecting part 17, a first mounting hole 13, and a mounting cavity 11 on the handlebar 10, with the opening 111 of the mounting cavity 11 located at the top of the handlebar 10. The first mounting hole 13 extends through the opposite sides of the handlebar 10 in the left-right direction and is spaced apart from the opening 111. Thus, after the handlebar 20 is inserted into the first mounting hole 13, it can be directly fixed to the handlebar 10 without the need for a cover plate 40 to restrict it. This facilitates the installation and fixation of the handlebar 20 to the handlebar 10, ensuring a reliable connection and improving the stability of the handlebar 20 installation. It also simplifies the structure of the cover plate 40, reduces its production cost, and facilitates the installation of electronic components such as the display assembly 30.

[0040] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 11 is provided with a first screw hole 121, and the handlebar 20 is provided with a first through hole corresponding to the position of the first screw hole 121. The handlebar assembly also includes a first screw, which passes through the first through hole and is screwed into the first screw hole 121 to fix the handlebar 20 to the handlebar base 10. This configuration ensures the stable installation of the handlebar 20, facilitates the assembly of the handlebar assembly, and allows for easy disassembly of the handlebar 20 for maintenance or replacement. Of course, in other embodiments, the handlebar 20 can also be welded to the handlebar base 10.

[0041] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 11 is provided with protrusions 12, and there are multiple protrusions 12. The multiple protrusions 12 are distributed at intervals along the axial direction of the first mounting hole 13. Each protrusion 12 is provided with a first screw hole 121, and the handlebar 20 is provided with a first through hole corresponding to each first screw hole 121. This arrangement can increase the length of the first screw hole 121, improve the installation stability of the handlebar 20, and avoid the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 11 being too thick, which facilitates the integral molding of the handlebar 10. By providing multiple protrusions 12, the size of a single protrusion 12 can be avoided from being too large, which can improve the installation stability of the handlebar 20 and reduce the risk of defects during the molding process of the handlebar 10.

[0042] In some embodiments, the front end face of the handle 10 is provided with a second mounting hole 14, which communicates with the mounting cavity 11. The handle assembly also includes a light 50, which is disposed in the mounting cavity 11 and corresponding to the second mounting hole 14. Specifically, the cross plate is spaced apart from the front end of the handle 10 (i.e., the front sidewall of the mounting cavity 11) to allow the light 50 to be installed. Installing the light 50 in the mounting cavity 11 in this way improves the utilization rate of the handle 10 and allows the light 50 to be hidden within the handle 10, reducing the risk of the light 50 being damaged.

[0043] In some embodiments, the front end face of the handle 10 is provided with first protruding ribs 15 on both sides of the second mounting hole 14, and the first protruding ribs 15 and their extensions are spaced apart from the second mounting hole 14. That is, the first protruding ribs 15 and their extensions do not pass through the second mounting hole 14, and the first protruding ribs 15 on both sides of the second mounting hole 14 are approximately parallel. In this way, when the front end of the handle 10 collides with an object such as a wall, the first protruding ribs 15 can abut against the object first, thereby reducing the risk of the lighting lamp 50 being impacted. Optionally, the first protruding ribs 15 extend in the vertical direction or in the horizontal direction.

[0044] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 11 is provided with an annular rib 16, which is spaced apart from the side wall of the mounting cavity 11. The length of the annular rib 16 extending in the front-rear direction is greater than its width extending in the left-right direction. The display component 30 is mounted on the annular rib 16. Specifically, the annular rib 16 is integrally formed on the handle 10, which facilitates the positioning and installation of the display component 30, strengthens the structural strength of the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 11, and improves the structural reliability of the handle 10.

[0045] In some embodiments, an annular partition 42 is provided on the inner side of the cover plate 40. The annular partition 42 surrounds the light-transmitting area 41 and is fitted over the annular rib 16. In this way, the annular partition 42 can block the light from the display component 30 and prevent light leakage.

[0046] In some embodiments, the display assembly 30 includes a circuit board 31 and a display screen 32 disposed on the circuit board 31. The inner wall of the annular rib 16 is provided with a support portion 18, which is spaced apart from the top surface of the annular rib 16. The circuit board 31 is fixed to the support portion 18 by a second screw, which facilitates the positioning and installation of the display assembly 30.

[0047] Optionally, the handle assembly also includes a button 60, which is mounted on the circuit board 31. The cover plate 40 has a mounting hole 44 corresponding to the position of the button 60, and the button 60 is exposed through the mounting hole 44. The button 60 can be used as a power button.

[0048] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 17 is provided with a wire hole 171, which penetrates the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 11 to communicate with the mounting cavity 11; this facilitates the routing of the display assembly 30 wiring harness from the wire hole 171, reducing the wiring harness on the outside of the handlebar assembly.

[0049] Optionally, the connecting portion 17 extends away from the opening 111, and its side is provided with a plurality of second screw holes 172. That is, the connecting portion 17 is generally cylindrical and is used to insert into the vertical tube 80. The vertical tube 80 is provided with a second through hole 81 corresponding to the position of the second screw holes 172, so as to lock the connecting portion 17 and the vertical tube 80 with locking screws. This ensures a stable connection between the handle 10 and the vertical tube 80 and also facilitates their assembly.

[0050] In some embodiments, the top surface of the cover plate 40 is provided with a code-sticking area 45 and two second ribs 43 respectively disposed on opposite sides of the code-sticking area 45, both second ribs 43 extending in the front-back direction. Specifically, the code-sticking area 45 can be used to stick QR codes, etc. By providing second ribs 43 on opposite sides of the code-sticking area 45, the risk of the QR code in the code-sticking area 45 being worn can be reduced.

[0051] This utility model also proposes an electric scooter, which includes a pedal assembly 70, a vertical tube 80, and a handlebar assembly. The specific structure of the electric scooter is as described in the above embodiments. Since this electric scooter adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. The vertical tube 80 is located at the front end of the pedal assembly 70, and the connecting part 17 of the handlebar assembly is fixed to the upper end of the vertical tube 80. Specifically, the electric scooter also includes a front wheel 91, a rear wheel 92, and a braking device, etc., the specific structure of which can be referred to in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model.
